    "content": "When the NADCO report was presented, we were told that there was a tactical calculated move by the Ministry for Gender, Culture, the Arts and Heritage, that they were doing something mysterious to address the issue of the one-third gender rule. I woke up on behalf of all women, girls, and many others, to come and listen to this strategy that is being employed by the Ministry to address the one-third gender crisis. The number of women Senators in the House today is quite high. We really wanted to find out how to solve this issue of achieving the two-thirds gender rule that has been there since 1994. I want to assure women leaders of this country that there is hope because the President himself believes in the two-thirds gender rule. I agree with my colleagues. Let the Cabinet Secretary appear in the next 30 minutes. We can suspend the House. There is no Cabinet meeting today. Therefore, there is nothing urgent they are attending to. Mr. Speaker, Sir, why do you not suspend the House and order the Cabinet Secretary to appear within 30 minutes? She should also come with a fine to ensure that Senators are comfortable. Going into the future, let the SBC guide us and be innovative. We are not guiding the SBC; you are the ones guiding us. Let us be innovative. I urge colleagues that issues of the Senate should remain here. When you want to make comments in press conferences, funerals and other places, kindly reserve them. Do not discuss the conduct and functionality of the Speaker of the Senate. Members of the ‘Lower’ House defend their own Speaker. We should also defend ours. If you have a problem, kindly discuss it with your wife in your bedroom at night, but do not bring it out in public. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I express strong reservations against non-appearance of the Cabinet Secretaries. I thank you."
